DRIVING INSTRUCTOR TRAINING

Inspiring the future of driving instructors

Are you Thinking of becoming a Driving Instructor?

Would you like to choose the hours you work?

Would you like to feel a sense of fulfillment when you get your pupils through their test?

There are so many benefits to becoming a Driving Instructor that far out weigh a lot of other industries, such as the roll you can play in making today's drivers safer and more aware of their surroundings.

At Learner Driving Wales we are constantly challenging ourselves to make your training as helpful and relevant as possible.

In recent years the teaching industry has changed massively. The DVSA have recognised that just teaching the skills to drive does very little to reduce the number of accidents young drivers are involved in.

The industry is now very client base focused. This means that we now must incorporate Coaching Skills as well as Teaching Skills. This method allows the learner to think of their actions and self evaluate which helps them to become more conscientious and safer drivers.

We make sure that you have both Teaching Skills and Coaching Skills to ensure that you not only pass your course but you do so with ease.
